Preston North End manager Alex Neil has insisted there are no offers currently in for Jordan Hugill amid mounting speculation that Birmingham City will pounce for the striker - but admitted that the Lancashire club rejected a bid from Blues last week.

Hugill missed Preston's friendly defeat against Burnley last night, an absence Neil put down to injury.

Blues saw their offer in the region of £2.5m for the forward knocked back, but Harry Redknapp remains keen on bringing the 25-year-old to St Andrew's.

However Blues have not returned with another bid at this point, says Neil.
